A single man - with Colin Firth & Julianne Moore.  Well filmed and acted, but not really my cup of tea.

Mesrine - L'Instinct de Mort

And tonight shall be Mesrine - L'ennemi public no1

Then I shall move on from French to Russian, I think and watch the NightWatch and DayWatch films...

Zombieland.
A great laugh.
Woody Harrelson was just excellent.

Not strictly a film per se but Believe is a by turns serious, funny, intense and moving account of Eddie Izzard's life and career to date.

It includes the bizarre but true story of his show featuring on Watchdog along with his 'comeback' tour in 2003 and finishes with his marathon epic, strangely in the end titles . . .

I'm a fan (so I'm biased) but it made me cry, just a little . . .

Invictus

Not bad. Not over dramatised. Interesting watching it with the kids; the youngest of which couldn't stop thinking the film was fiction. The eldest found it odd watching a 'historical' film and listening to mum and Dad commenting on what it was like when Mandela was released, etc.

This reminds me of the time I told my dad we were learning about the second world war in history at school and he said, "That's not history!"  ;D

Grease, for the nth time.  I'm always amazed at the level of sexual innuendo and how I never noticed any of it in 1979.

That didn't actually answer your question, did it?

Yes Man.

I read the book in 2007 or so.  It's a shame they had to Americanise it, but it was nonetheless very good and somewhat thought provoking.

Invictus. A good effort, I thought. Mrs Manotea will like it. I was home when Mandela was released, with the TV on waiting for hime to walk down that road.

As a young lad I watched so many contemporary WWII films I could almost remember it. Then again, I also watched so many american musicals that I thought it was normal for people to spontaneously launch into song and dance routines.

I thought the 'brutal' rugby in 'Invictus' rather poorly done.

Now, the last two films I watched were 'Primeveal' on i-Player, which was extremely silly (giant croc in Burundi);

And 'The Book of Eli' (T*sco cheapy). Intriguing, up to the point where the nature of the book is revealed and the whole film is shown up to be utter and complete tosh. Mind you, it does have a pair of redneck machine-gun-totin' cannibals played by Michael Gambon and Frances de la Tour.
Yes, really!

Ah, those look like fun... and I love Vincent Cassel

They are brilliant, and I can whole heartedly recommend them both, but you do need to see both of them (IIRC they wanted to make one film, but realised that the public just wouldn't sit through ~4 hours of film, so made two). As film 1 opens where film 2 ends.

The Chaser

A Korean film subtitled. Apparently, if the rave reviews on IMDB are true, a great example of Korean film making.

Unfortunately I missed the first 15mins of the film, so it took me a while to work out what was actually going on.

Which was gritty murder stuff.
It is simpler than it looks.
